Q: Expats bullying each other here how many of you think so????
Recently I've noticed few users whose answers are always rude and always irrelevant !!!Who do you think does this most?????
11 years 30 weeks ago in Arts & Entertainment - Beijing
I think the use of the word "bully" is trite and lacks imagination. Adults know that eventually, someone is going to say something they don't like. That's life. If you want to point fingers, make a list yourself. Not being rude, I'm just pointing out the uselessness of this question in relation to how much genuine information someone reading the answers could get from them. There are easier ways to start a flame war.
However, that's just my opinion...
GuilinRaf:
I think that she means the ones who are always being nasty, for no apparent reason. Not just the ones with whom we disagree or who disagree with our views.
lokethebloke:
I disagree slightly with your description of the word 'bully'. To me, it's short and to the point, easily understood by those who do the bullying, perhaps because they do tend to be less clever than most, hence one of the reasons why they 'bully'. I could go on!
Sammy, are you overly offended all the time? I have a box of tissues and a warm blanky if you need. 
lokethebloke:
At least you're a self proclaimed 'bully', (badtroll), more power to your elbow.
Advice to Sammy, this badtroll chappy is going to be using the tissues more than you in the not too distant future.badtroll:
You two need to change your tampons, that shit is getting dirty! Go and get mad if people arent nice to you, go home and run back into your momma's arms, she'll make it better!
i get what she means, some people just go out of their way just insult others, fair enough if people are using logic to mock someones questions, but no need to be nasty, most of the time you will find at least one person who will deliberately insult the question for no reason
Frankly_Speaking:
Every blog has them and usually it is a handful of people who think that the longer they have been posting, the more they can assert themselves and try to dominate and intimidate others. Fortunately this site only has five that I can see and only two worthy of banning - always rude and in attack mode. One as*hole simple can't deal with any new poster who disagrees with him. If you do, he first labels you as a "troll", "spammer", "shill", "idiot", etc. Then God forbid, should you continue to disagree with the guy, he invokes his personal friendship with the moderator and says he is reporting you for some BS! This jerk even hides behind two different avatars so he can be extra rude without getting shut of the blog completely. Blog bullies are a fact of life and they are the reason that very few new posters stick around very long.
giadrosich:
I agree with Frank 100%! Besides those crazy bullies, I think it is hilarious how people talk about hating all forms of censorship, and in the next breath say others should be banned from a forum, lol. Great stuff! Oh, and then, there are always those who attach their comments to the top posts so people will see their biased opinions, lol, just like I did now!! Oh, wow! Frank did it, too! That makes it a "movement!" 
Does my avatar offend anybody?
GuilinRaf:
Emperor Palpitine may have a thing or two against i t....
As philbravery implies, there is no law against being offensive, certainly not online. Well actually there are such laws in the UK now, but they are very difficult to enforce and require use of 'real' names e.g. on FB and Twitter, not sites such as this where pseudonyms are used extensively.
I am certainly not going to be so childish as to list those I think are the worst perpetrators of such language, indeed some may think I am one of the offenders. Suffice to say if I see racism or sweeping over-generalisations that I deem offensive, and yes that is a very subjective call, I will point that out. I try and be polite, or at least ironic funny, but sometimes (often?) I fail and come over as rude.
To those offended I apologise, but I've found in the main such apologies and explanations are useless because those who accept the apology never really needed it and those who wouldn't accept the apology, (those you WANT to offend) take it as you being proven wrong.
Ahh well, life online is 'different'.
Maybe other people just want to say their opinions,but to you is offend,just accept ,come in one ear and go out in other ear he he

Hi, Brenda. Do you get paid to post these unsolicited links, or maybe you have an investment with them? What's the deal, and why are they at the bottom of your comments?
philbravery:
I have to admit that was clever
I wonder is I could get corporate financial support at the bottom of my post's?
Sammy, as you said yourself, this question was directed at Badtroll and he is quite aware that he's.........well........a bit of a c**t. He's just exercising his right to throw verbal sh*t around. Fair enough. You don't have to read it any more than he has to write it.
Actually Sammy you are quite astute. This blog has five posters who are what are known as "Blog Bullies" - people who think that because they have been posting longer than others have the right to insult or intimidate others. Badtroll is just one of the group. This is exactly why you see less and less posters with more than 10 or 15 posts before they get tired of the rude comments and look for a more friendly and objective environment.
The matter is further compounded by a moderators who is personal friends with two of the bullies and allows them to continue there rude ways unabated and then not only deletes the comments of those who defend themselves, but disables their user accounts so they cannot even make rebuttals. I suspect he is one of those arrogant American control freaks that must exercise the only power they have in China - to edit a blog.
This matter of rude blog bullies and biased moderation has already been brought to the attention of the CEO of Echinacities.com. If you want a better more objective blog experience you can try chinasmack.com, thebeijinger.com, or chinatoday.com.
Now you can expect all the blog bullies to come out and attack me and any post I make with posts supporting the moderator. Some of these blog bullies are also clearly reacists and they know who they are. This post will probably be deleted within 48 hours (only because its a holiday) Usually it would be gone within 24 hours.
kchur:
Two posts but a pleasant ring of familiarity. Like a half-forgotten scent from childhood.
kchur:
And by the by, sir, I have been called a good many things, some of them deserved and some mere slander. But, sir, I have never been called, and I shall never allow myself to be referred to as, a reacist.
I say good day, sir, good day!
giadrosich:
Gee, for someone who joined today, I congratulate your extensive knowledge of the inner workings of this place. Maybe you've been here before, under a different name? Sounds to me like you have an ax to grind against this forum.
So now, you are here just to stir things up. That's okay. Stir away...
MissA:
Excellent! The Gang of Three has expanded! Shall we take bets on who's included these days...
giadrosich:
Poor Frank. I can tell he was feeling down and out when he posted this...
LAR:
"I suspect he..............edit a blog." Whose the one that is being arrogant? A*****E! Why don't you stick it up your ***?
Toodles!
REC-AEC:
I'm new here as a poster, but have been reading for almost two years. To be honest this forum is more hostile than most others except the Global Times. That forum is the mother of hateful racism. Check it out sometime and this one will appear to be tame. But I do thing Frankly-Speaking has suggestions that would make this forum even better. We run real live debates every Tuesday and when people have to talk face to face and risk a beating, they are much more polite.
Don't like what people write then don't read. Simple as that. I'm getting tired of seeing butthurt topics like this. In fact, that's the reason I bounced a few month back and if it starts up again then I'll leave again.
I find it much more insufferable when adults get pissy over some anonymous person's comments.
Your mom does it the most because she's a skank.
Now, gimme your lunch money before I shove your head into a toilet, you dweeb.
mattsm84:
What are you gunna do about it, twerp, tell the moderator? Now gimme the pudding cup that your ho bag mom put in your lunch.
mArtiAn:
Woah, just came across this by accident, and what a surprise. Congratulations, I am insulted. But no, i'm not going to tell on you (haha). Tempted to return the insult in some way, but no.
I honestly favoured you for having a little more maturity.
Dunno about bullying, I did have my share of attacks from Crimo back when I was posting as Gaohao. This guy Mattsm84 (the post above this one) seems intent on taking things to a knew low though. Charming.
mArtiAn:
I'm afraid I think it's you who needs to learn how to 'make' a joke. You don't know me, you don't know anything about me, and you don't know my mother. But you should know better.
mattsm84:
I was kidding before, but now I am serious. Fuck you you sawed off little shit.
mArtiAn:
Nothing sawed off about me, i'm a 44 year old man. How old are you?
mattsm84:
Then why do you pick fights with strangers like an angry teenager?
mArtiAn:
Wasn't picking a fight, just pointing out that making comments about someone's mother is low. Unless you're 9 years old or a black guy on a basketball court, then it's funny. You weren't very funny. Anyway, I don't want to get into a slanging match with you, so let's not continue this conversation.
mattsm84:
Might that have been part of the joke? To treat somebody who is complaining about bullying in a way that a grade school bully might?
Maybe we should stop this conversation. I think that it would be a better use of your time to take a look around this message board and ask yourself which of the two of us people would rather see leave.
mArtiAn:
Ok, well your joke makes sense to me now. Didn't appreciate it myself. No idea who people would like to see the back of. You guess it's me. Fair enough. Don't see why, unless it's because i'm not as prone to the ugliness of mob mentality as some. Kind of like your conversation actually but if all you have is further attacks i'd just as soon end this one.
snowballeffect:
Yeah, this guy (matt) even told me that he wanted me to die in a fire, just because I didn't agree with his economic 'appraisal' of China.......whole comment was later removed.
mArtiAn:
Yeh, I know the guy: intellectual snob / petulant 7 year old child.
Can you imagine how civil people might be in blogs if they had to post there real names and photos?!?
mArtiAn:
I think it's a marvelous idea, why do you think the Ku Klux Klan wear sheets? I'd also like it if you could click on those little thumb thingies to see who's giving you the "nuuuur" treatment. Personally i've stopped using them unless someone says something really really shitty. Haha, I do confess to up-thumbing posters a fair deal, when they're wrongly in the red. Haha, isn't that sweet?
I need a drink. I can't really understand a lot of these comments here. I'll be back after I have a martini to give it another go.
Okay, now I get it. Yeah there a few rude punks here for sure. I guess they can pretend to be macho man when they don't have to insult people to their face. When they get up front and personal with someone who could teach them some manners, they would probably turn down the volume and be a bit more "socially sensitive" and polite.
lokethebloke:
Couldn't agree with you more. By the way, I'm retired AND retarded.
Wow, just seen this thread, how long has this shit been going on for!
